Famous quotes containing the words open and/or space:
“... the door that nobody else will go in at, seems always to swing open widely for me.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“A set of ideas, a point of view, a frame of reference is in space only an intersection, the state of affairs at some given moment in the consciousness of one man or many men, but in time it has evolving form, virtually organic extension. In time ideas can be thought of as sprouting, growing, maturing, bringing forth seed and dying like plants.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
